Tim Holtz Demonstrates New Masks!

Masks are here and they are the next biggest trend in paper crafting. They were introduced to the industry last winter by the fabulous Heidi Swapp. This fall, Tim Holtz designed his own line (complete with Heidi Swapp's seal of approval on the back)!

Many have inquired - what are masks and how are they used? Well here is a link to a very informative video hosted by Tim Holtz on the many diverse uses of masks. Click Here to see the video - I guarantee you will learn something!

Masks are reusable stencils that allow you to add a new dimension to any project that you are working on by leaving a "negative space" when removed. The possibilities and techniques are endless. They are made of clear plastic with a repositionable adhesive on the back. You can even wash the mask without compromising the adhesive at all.

Since Masks are affordable, durable, and easy to store, it is easy to get addicted to their power. Here are a few of the masks we sell in the store. Be sure to check out the store for the complete line available!

Oh Cool Masks! I just LOVE Tim's stuff! These has not been 1 of his products that I am not happy with so far!My Fav Technique is Distressing. I have not tried masking yet but hear so much of it and seen some GREAT stuff! My favorite T.H Mask is the flourish! I am HUGE on scrolls/Florishes right now!

Yeah! Masks! I often over look them but they are super fun. I love the timeworks one, I think it is my favorite but I can see uses for just about every one. I think one of my favorite ways to use them is to distress ink.. (blend )on them and then stamp on top of that before i remove the mask. I just love everything he creates!

These masks are fantastic and I would love to try them. Not sure that they are out over here yet so would love to get my hands on one or two. I love the florish and can think of many, many uses for that.

Wishing the SSS crew a fantastic Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.
